Schizophrenia is the result of the evolution of the human
brain. The path of advantages leading to utter domination
of the planet (for good or ill) has created a brain that is
on the edge of crashing. "Crash" in the sense that a
computer program crashes. The vast complexity with
the ability of fantasize, to imagine the unimaginable, to
relate to oneself and to other selfs has evolved to the
point that crashes occur in a significant percentage of
human brains.
These crashes are most likely to occur as the growth
of the brain reaches completion, perhaps near age 23.
After the crash the brains activity, over time, causes
structural and chemical distortions. ( a crippled
person develops broken bones from falling -- the
broken bones are a result, not a cause )
Treatment consists of reversing in some degree and
with regard to some functions the over-development
produced by over-evolution.
Now if my computer doesn't crash I will post this.
My computer has evolved to the point that there is a
significant probability of a crash. Furthermore,
because of past crashes it has some corruptions
making it more likely to crash. It has, in fact, reached
the metaphorical age of 22.
